Could you expand a little ... (smile) ?


It really sounds like a network timeout issue (I've had response issues like that with KDE when my ISP is having troubles).

WAGs:

Verify your dns addresses. Maybe reverse their order or even try opendns.

Verify your network is working normally: Visit a few sites. Ping you ISP and other sites. Run a network speed test.

"tail -f /var/log/messages" in one window while opening another.

If you have a firewall, check it's log.

Verify that you are using nvidia drivers instead of nv.

Exam Xorg.log for any hints of problems.

HTH,
